Connect

For many Raspberry Pi projects, you don’t need or want a GUI to load in order to save resources. It can be inconvenient to connect a new device to an HDMI display, keyboard and mouse. The solution is to go headless.

Amazon’s Alexa records and saves conversations and commands that you are having with/issuing to the device itself (both in text and audio format), but only if it hears the trigger word (by default, “Alexa”).

I’m working on a WHMCS module to allow provisioning of Docker containers. In the process of testing, I created a Linode StackScript that installs Docker and Portainer (with optional Let’s Encrypt for SSL) for Ubuntu 16.04.
